Google Paula Deen's Broccoli casserole. It takes a perfectly healthy vegetable and makes it clog your arteries... which is why it is so freakin' delicious. :) We only make it on thanksgiving here. It is cheap though. Frozen broccoli, mayo, cream of mushroom soup, cheese and ritz crackers, though we used french friend onions instead.

My absolute FAVORITE is hashbrown casserole. Mix 1 bag of frozen plain diced hashbrowns, 1 can of cream of chicken, 1 cup (I like a bit more) of sour cream, and a few generous handfuls of shredded cheddar jack cheese. Put it in a casserole dish, top with more cheese and your favorite breadcrumbs (I like to crush up some French's onions) and bake until ooey and gooey. YUMM.

It really depends on what your main dish will be. A sweet potato casserole might be nice, or a fruit and nut brown rice pilaf, if you want something sweet. For something spicy, you might like Spanish rice. For something more veggie-focused, a corn and broccoli casserole with cream cheese would work. Or you could do loaded potatoes if you want good old comfort food.

If you have a crock pot you can dump a large 20oz or larger bag of frozen corn in then top with a 8 oz package of cream cheese and cook on low till ready to serve meal. We start it early in the morning and let it cook till everything is ready. After a couple hours stir the pot to mix cream cheese with the juice formed when the corn defrosts.
